Needed: Akonadi Logo

Posted by toma on April 21, 2008; This entry is filed under English.

We need an Akonadi logo. If you are an artist and want to design a logo: do it! This is your chance to become famous instantly.

Not only do we want a general logo for Akonadi, we also need an icon for the Akonadi tray applitcation. Can be the same or something different. We also have no clear idea about what we want, so anything you can up with can be the winner of his contest.

The jury are the Akonadi-hackers, we will announce the winner here! You are allowed to bribe the jury.

List your entry at the techbase page.

    Just a note: an icon should probably follow the Oxygen specification. See: http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Projects/Oxygen/Style

    Also, if you want the Oxygen artists to create icons, you need to add your requests here: http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Projects/Oxygen/Missing_Icons

    this almost looks like a stick figure with a skirt, going “hurray!” :-)

    I don’t see a reason for the logo to match the oxygen spec. It would be nice for the tray icon to fit in, but there is more in the world then oxygen.

    Akonadi is a cross-desktop PIM Storage Service. It basically acts like a cache or proxy if you like. So it is not KDE or Qt specific. It holds all pim data (addressbook, bookmarks, mails, whatever). On one hand there are the applications accessing Akonadi and display the content to the users. On the other hand there are the ‘resources’ which ‘feed’ akonadi with data.

    So it is a proxy / storage / cache thing for pim data.

    I have an idea for an icon I’d like to try too. When’s the deadline?

  12. Tom Albers April 23rd, 2008 at 12:06

    Go ahead ;-) There is no strict deadline, but I think in a week or so we will have a look if something is usable.
